FO: Sea Skirt

I took this photo in August, and I'm pretty sure I cut the fabric for this skirt shortly thereafter.

Then, I forgot about it. It sat in pieces for seven months or so, and then Monday, I sewed it together.

I installed my first invisible zipper (which isn't quite invisible, but close!), and chopped six inches off the pattern to make what I think is a very fun skirt.

I have a fairly big stash of the Mendocino line by Heather Ross, and I'm glad I used some of it on this project (and on my quilt, which you can see on the bed). I tried on the skirt with a few different shirts, and this purple is a favorite with the orange.

Very cute! Love the pattern. The skirt's a charmer. We used to have fabric/sewing shops in these parts, but they are hard to come by now. Too bad, b/c I would use them in heartbeat for my tabletop propping.
